Abstract: The present arrangement provides compounds (I) AaMm(YO4)yZz(I) that are obtained from precursors of the constituent elements by a method having steps that can include dispersion of the precursors in a liquid support having one or more ionic liquids made up of a cation and an anion the electric charges of which balance out to give a suspension of the precursors in the liquid. The suspension is heated to a temperature of 25 to 380° C. and the ionic liquid and the inorganic oxide of formula (I) are separated from the reaction of the precursors.

Abstract: A material is made up of particles of an optionally-doped fluorosulphate. The fluorosulphate has a distorted Tavorite type structure of formula (A1?aA?a)x(Z1?bZ?b)z(SO4)sFf (I) where A=Li or Na, A? 0 a hole or at least one doping element, Z=at least one element selected from Fe, Co and Ni, Z?=a hole or at least one doping element, the indices a, b, x, z, s, and f are selected to assure the electroneutrality of the compound and a?0, b?0, x?0, z>0, s>0, f>0, the respective quantities a and b of dopant A and Z? being such that the Tavorite type structure is preserved. The material is obtained from the precursors thereof by an ionothermal route or ceramic route in a closed reactor. The material is of particular use as an active electrode material.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for preparing an alkali metal and transition metal fluorosulfate that is useful as an electrode material in an electrochemical battery that operates by alkali ion exchange. The method includes a first step that involves: preparing a mixture of precursors of elements making up fluorosulfate, placing said mixture in contact with a solid polymer at ambient temperature, subjecting the reaction medium to a heat treatment that aims to melt the polymer, and subsequently reacting the precursors with one another. Said polymer is one that is solid at ambient temperature, has a melting point lower than the reaction temperature of the precursors, is stable at least up to the reaction temperature of the precursors, and is soluble in a nonpolar aprotic organic solvent.
